Riya, India

I have a Home Baking business for the past 8 years. I am always keen to learn new techniques and improve my skills. I wanted to learn the eggless signature buttercream recipe and floral cake art techniques. The online school has amazing videos explaining the Buttercream making, baking and decorating techniques in depth. I learned a lot of techniques! I sell many floral cakes now, both piped and painted, I am totally satisfied with this course.

Musliha Yoosuf, Maldives

Since I am self-taught, I was never able to perfect my buttercream recipe, especially for piping and smoothing the cake. Neetha's signature buttercream recipe is like magic! It's perfect for piping flowers and it's delicious! I would totally recommend Neetha's courses if you want to perfect yourself in buttercream techniques as well as baking techniques. I joined the course in 2017, but she is still there to assist me if I have any queries. Thank you so much Neetha for continuing to support me!

Arlene Gomez, Qatar

Once I enrolled, the first thing I tried was the signature buttercream recipe, Walla! I can’t believe it, it’s like magic! I can pipe beautiful flowers right away without difficulty. It was very stable and sooo tasty! I really appreciate Ms.Neetha’s effort, she is very helpful in guiding me with the ingredients. She even supported me personally to find the exact shops here in Qatar where I can buy the correct ingredients. She share generously her skills and talents to her students in order to achieve our goal. I highly recommend enrolling Buttercream Petals Masterclass, you will not regret it. Thank you once again Ms. Neetha and God bless you more.

Nina Babbage, UK

"I used to struggle with my buttercream especially when it comes to covering the cakes smoothly. I have learnt that it is all about the technique in which you apply the pressure and angle the smoother, along with stable and glossy buttercream. The signature buttercream tastes amazing, unlike any other buttercream I have tasted and is beautifully pipe-able. Neetha is a great teacher, patient with an amazing style of teaching."

Taruna Dineshkumar,India

"I didn't have a good eggless buttercream recipe and mine always melted as I mixed colours, especially in Indian weather. Since joining Online School, I learned the tricks to make stable buttercream and learned to pipe more than 30 different flowers, all within a month of enrolling in Online School! What makes this course amazing is the ongoing support from Neetha and the well-structured learning videos. Highly recommend this course!"

Aneeldeep Kaur, UK

"Neetha gave me so confidence from start to finish of this class. My biggest takeaway from this course is the skill to make smooth and glossy buttercream, mixing amazing colours, covering cake perfectly and making buttercream flowers. Signature buttercream is fantastic. I am excited to learn more as I am now in the Online School. My ultimate goal is to start my own cake business."

Seema Arora, India

I always wanted to try Palette knife painting but I feared I wouldn't be able to learn it. But the Online School has Buttercream recipes, baking, flower piping and palette knife painting, all explained in concise videos targeting the concept. Together with the motivating attitude of Neetha, it is an amazing learning experience. From being a full time Mathematics teacher, I have now made the career change to a professional baker 🙂

Rashila Pithadia,UK

Before the course, I lacked confidence in cake decorating, my buttercream gave me problems and I was unsure how to cover the cake, how to use all the nozzles!  But after this course, learning basics like making the perfect signature buttercream, baking tips, smoothing cake and piping various flowers, this has really transformed my skills. I would highly recommend anyone interested to perfect their buttercream skills join this course. Neetha is a brilliant tutor!
